133: Chapter 133 Swinging the Hammer
But when he followed and took a look, he was completely dumbfounded.
This didn't look like a first winter hunt at all.
Pei Siyao, who was already thirteen, was not very tall—roughly 1.5 meters in modern terms—and still had a bit of baby fat on her face, making her look quite adorable.
No matter how you looked at her, she was a cute girl.
But when Pei Tianhe set his gaze upon the pair of great hammers in Pei Siyao's hands, an indescribable sense of dissonance welled up in his heart.
Weapons like great hammers were rarely used among Martial Artists. Only some sturdy men born with Divine Power would use such weapons.
Yet now, it was a little loli swinging a great hammer.
However.
After Pei Siyao entered her combat state, that trace of dissonance in Pei Tianhe's heart instantly vanished.
This was no little girl; she was a bona fide humanoid tyrannosaurus.
In Pei Siyao's hands, the great hammer seemed to have reached a state of unity between person and weapon. Every strike landed perfectly, smashing heavily onto the Sword-Tailed Bear.
The immense force of the great hammer crashing down caused the Sword-Tailed Bear's body to shake violently.
If it weren't for the fact that exotic beasts like the Sword-Tailed Bear had thick skin and flesh, it would have been half-dead from a single strike.
Although it wasn't smashed to death, the Sword-Tailed Bear was still battered, howling and bleeding profusely.
If the Sword-Tailed Bear couldn't express emotions like humans, it would probably be wailing in tears right now.
"That is truly too brutal; nearly half of the Sword-Tailed Bear's bones are shattered. Having too strong a vitality is not necessarily a good thing," Pei Tianhe sighed.
Perhaps Pei Tianhe's jinx took effect.
The next moment, the great hammer in Pei Siyao's hands smashed right onto the Sword-Tailed Bear's forehead.
"Boom!"
A force of thousands of jun erupted violently; the Sword-Tailed Bear's head was forcibly flattened, taking on the shape of the great hammer.
At the same time, the Sword-Tailed Bear's entire body sank a notch under this great force, breaking through the snow surface and embedding itself into the mud.
After a series of spasms, the Sword-Tailed Bear's body stopped moving, leaving only spots of blood extending to every part of the battlefield.
Standing on the corpse of the Sword-Tailed Bear, Pei Siyao stood proudly with her great hammer, looking just like a legendary female war god.
"This beast is truly troublesome. It's just a pity that it was still lacking a little bit. In this winter hunt, I will amaze everyone with a single feat. I will let Big Brother and Father see that I, Si Yao, am the hope of the Family."
The next moment, Pei Siyao rushed toward her next hunting target.
Unlike the second-tier Sword-Tailed Bear, first-tier exotic beasts shattered at a single touch in her hands. Under her great hammer, it was hard for these first-tier exotic beasts to leave behind intact corpses.
On the other side, Pei Tianhe was even more stunned by Pei Siyao's crazed fighting style.
Hunting Ground No. 1.
After completing the hunt of eight first-tier exotic beasts, Pei Sili's winter hunt time was nearing its end.
"First place is secure this time." Looking at the exotic beast corpses beneath him, Pei Sili felt exceptionally relieved.
He even walked with a spring in his step.
Every year, the top three in the winter hunt received rewards.
The first-place prize was the largest: one divine power pill and a reward of three thousand taels. Second place was next, receiving only a divine power pill.
Third place only received a one-thousand-tael reward.
A single divine power pill was worth two thousand taels; as long as he took first place, he would have five thousand taels in hand.
Don't look at him as the Family Young Lord; the silver he actually received in a year was only five thousand taels.
Every year-end was definitely when he was poorest.
With these five thousand taels, he could definitely greatly alleviate his financial crisis.
Soon, the winter hunt time for Hunting Ground No. 1 ended.
Similarly, all other hunting grounds were the same, with differences of less than half a quarter of an hour.
Because there were two rounds, after the first batch finished the winter hunt, they did not immediately announce the winter hunt results.
Walking out of Hunting Ground No. 1, Pei Sili strode with an arrogant swagger.
It was at this moment that he noticed Pei Siyao walking out of Hunting Ground No. 7, holding a great hammer.
Upon seeing Pei Siyao, Pei Sili immediately went up to meet her.
Although Pei Siyao's image with the great hammer was different from usual, he didn't think much of it.
After all, she was his own younger sister.
For her first winter hunt, presumably, the battle situation wouldn't be very good.
Wasn't this the perfect time for him, as her older brother, to step up and be reliable?
Seeing Pei Sili walking toward her, Pei Siyao wiped the bloodstains off her face and a smile appeared on her face.
Regarding this older brother who grew up with her, no one understood him better than she did.
Her older brother's specialty was bragging.
Back then, she was still young and naturally looked at him with admiration.
But now that she was older, she knew that her own brother was actually a big swindler.
She wanted to see this time if her brother was going to try to fool her again.
However.
Pei Sili's first sentence made her immediately lose her composure.
"Si Yao, you've gained weight again; have you been sneaking snacks lately? I've told you before, as a girl, you should eat less, but you just won't listen. If you get too fat, no one will want you later. How about you let Brother keep your pocket money for you? That way, you won't be able to sneak snacks," Pei Sili said with a smile.
Hearing this, Pei Siyao's face darkened, and she said angrily, "Keep dreaming! You're the one who sneaks snacks; you're the one who's fat."
"Hahaha, Brother was just joking because you didn't look well. How does the winter hunt feel? If you didn't hunt any exotic beasts, Brother won't laugh at you. First winter hunts are all like that; not everyone can get good results on their first try like Brother," Pei Sili said.
"Brother, then I really have to thank you." Pei Siyao's eyes were full of disdain.
How had she not noticed before that her own brother had such a nasty mouth?
"It's nothing, this is what a brother should do. This year is my last winter hunt; after this winter hunt ends, Brother will take you to practice. No matter what, we can't return empty-handed," Pei Sili said with a confident look.
Seeing Pei Sili like this, the hand Pei Siyao used to hold the great hammer creaked.
If this weren't her own brother, he would definitely have to take a hit from her hammer.
But in just a split second, she had a fun idea and immediately said, "Brother, then it's a deal. After the winter hunt ends, you take me hunting."
Pei Sili didn't expect Pei Siyao to agree so readily.
If this were normal, Pei Siyao would definitely have retorted.
However, he didn't think much of it.
He just took it as a joke.
Subsequently, the two of them returned to Pei Tianrong.
Seeing his daughter, a smile immediately hung on Pei Tianrong's face, and he tactfully did not ask about the examination situation in the hunting ground.
The winter hunt was a path every clansman had to go through.
Being the daughter of the Family head was the same, but Pei Tianrong did not care too much about his daughter's results in the hunting ground.
As long as his daughter wasn't injured, that was enough.
In comparison, he found Pei Sili's face unpleasant to look at anywhere.
Pei Sili didn't know yet that Pei Tianrong had already learned the specific situation regarding his "good results" of taking first place at the academy through the academy's Martial Arts teacher.
His good son was truly capable.
